Lotus Notes Certification: Application Development and System Administration (Mcgraw-Hill Career++ Professional Certification Exam Guide)

Lotus Notes suffered in the browser wars, losing ground to open standards, Internet communication, and open databases. The program has rallied though, and remains a very popular groupware solution. If you're responsible, or would like to be responsible, for administering a Notes group or developing Notes applications, you'll benefit by earning one of IBM's Lotus Notes certifications.

Lotus Notes Certification Exam Guide takes you through everything you can expect to see on the Lotus Notes Application Development I, Lotus Notes Application Development II, Lotus Notes System Administration I, and Lotus Notes System Administration II exams. In covering the @ functions, for example, this book explains each function's general syntax, then explains the parameters in detail, then shows an example. Loaded with scenario-based questions ("If Patty in Peoria edits a field...") that mimic real-world Notes situations, this book never lets you forget that you're studying for an exam. The only drawback to these questions is their typographical layout: it's tough to examine all four possible actions without noticing the answer, which appears right below them. Still, if you're prepping for any of the Notes certifications, you'll find this book and the sample tests on its accompanying CD-ROM to be worthy study companions.
